Kinect 2.0 Detailed

Much of the excitement surrounding the new Xbox can be directly attributed to the next-gen Kinect sensor. Building off what the original Kinect started this takes NUI (natural user interaction) to the next level. From natural speech recognition to more accurate facial recognition and more detailed body motion capture. Kinect has been improved so much it's almost unfair to compare with the original incarnation. In this article let's go over what we know.

The Gunstringer Launching at Reduced Price, Packaged with Fruit Ninja Kinect and Free DLC

Friday, July 22, 2011 Glen View Comments

We recently brought you news that Twisted Pixels upcoming Kinect puppet shooter, The Gunstringer, will be hitting retail stores rather than Xbox Live Arcade as previously planned. Many worried online that the increase in price might not necessarily result in an increase in gameplay. Well, we can't say for sure how much value you'll get out of The Gunstringer alone until we've played it in full ourselves, but they're certainly working hard to make the game more desirable at a retail price point.

The game will launch on September 13th in the US, Australia and Asia and the 16th in Europe at a discounted price of £29.99 ($40). Not only that, but it will come with a code to download Fruit Ninja Kinect for free, an otherwise 800 point ($10) Live Arcade purchase.

They're also throwing in some free DLC right off the bat making the games' price hike even easier to swallow. "The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles" sees you play the son of The Wavy Tube Man (see left), attempting to save your fathers life via a stolen time machine. Just your average day in the Wild West.


Still not satisfied? Well pre-order now and you'll also get yourself an Avatar prop. Can't say fairer than that, really.

Saturday, July 16, 2011 Glen View Comments

Microsoft will be attending the San-Diego Comic-Con next week to show off some of their big upcoming games, many of which are Kinect titles. Although nothing new or major will likely be revealed, it'll give the public and press another chance to get some hands on time with the latest Kinect software, and if we're lucky there'll be a new demo or two.

Kinect Star Wars will not only be playable, but it has its own hour long panel on Thursday, July 21 at 10am PST. New gameplay will be revealed, including an all-new mode plus a special announcement which might well be a limited edition R2-D2 Xbox 360 with Kinect to coincide with the release of Kinect Star Wars.

Other Kinect games featuring at the event include Kinect Sports: Season Two, Dance Central 2, Rise of Nightmares and The Gunstringer. There will also be a Halo panel, which may or may not include details about the Kinect functionality in Halo: CE Anniversary.

As always, we'll keep you up to date with any news from the event.

The Gunstringer Now a Retail Title; Coming This Fall

Tuesday, June 07, 2011 Glen View Comments

Twisted Pixel's Kinect Marionette Shooter, The Gunstringer, is hitting store shelves this fall. Originally announced as a summer Live Arcade title, the game will now be a retail title with added development time used to flesh out to content and polish the game
Featuring both Donkey Kong-esque side scrolling platform gameplay, as well as 3D on-rails shooting segments, the game looks to capture the imagination of Kinect users with Twisted Pixel's trademark style and humor. Players will fight a Gatorjack, for example. The resulting offspring of a puppet alligator and a puppet lumberjack.

Hopefully with the extra time, Twisted Pixel can really produce something special.
